Summary: Allow jython to complete test_exceptions

Initial Comment:
The behavior of continue in a try clause is a known 
difference between CPython and Jython. This patch will 
jython to skip that test.

Jython failed all three, but when I double checked, I see 
that two of them is because the wording of the exception 
text is a little different. 

I'll fix the wording and come up with a new patch that only 
skips the first of the tests on jython. Until then, I'll 
close the report.

I understand Finn's motivation: It's a known difference that
won't be fixed any time soon. You don't want to have
persistently failing tests in your standard test suite.

Q. for Finn: does Jython balk on all three test cases, or
only one?
I'd prefer not to skip the test completely.

Why is it desirable for Jython to pass this test? It looks 
like a bug in Jython to me...
